The University of Idaho, which is located in the city of Moscow, received several complaints that their cheeleaders' two-piece uniforms were too scantily-clad.
The complaints followed a previous uniform change for the Vandals football team, which had an "I" for Idaho stitched directly on the buttocks of the players' uniforms.
The previous uniforms were halter tops and short black skirts with white trim, similar to that of NFL cheerleaders.
The Vandals cheerleaders coach ordered the uniforms and paid for them with $4,200 from a spirit squad fund, part of which is drawn from student fees, according to the Associated Press. The squad has ordered new uniforms with $2,200 in private money.
The new uniform is black and silver with a less revealing halter-style top and a skirt about six inches longer than the ones that cheerleaders debuted earlier this season.
For Idaho's most recent game, the cheerleaders ditched the skimpier uniforms in favor of black volleyball shorts and football jerseys. The new uniforms are expected to arrive by Oct. 4, when the Vandals host Nevada.
